Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter while stirring occasionally until it turns amber and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Cool for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. In the bowl with the cooled brown butter, add brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Form balls of dough and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart.
  6. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft. Sprinkle with sea salt immediately after baking and then cool on wire racks.
